Previous meetings • In their run to the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League group stage, Urs Schönenberger's Thun eliminated Leonid Buryak's Dynamo in the second qualifying round. The sides drew 2-2 in Kyiv before Tiago Bernardini's late goal handed Thun a 1-0 win in the return fixture in Berne. • The teams for the sides' first meeting in Kyiv on 26 July 2005 were: Dynamo: Shovkovskiy*, Rodolfo, Rebrov, Leko (Aliyev 69), Belkevich (Rincón 58), Rotan, Shatskikh (Verpakovskis 58), Gusev*, Nesmachniy, Gavrančić, Yussuf. Thun: Jakupović, Leandro Vieira (Tiago Bernardini 29), Miličević, Adriano (Gelson 90), Gerber (José Gonçalves 40), Deumi, Aegerter, Lustrinelli, Nelson Ferreira*, Pallas, Hodžić. *registered to play in this season's competition. Match background • Those previous meetings with Dynamo represent the sum total of Thun's experience of Ukrainian opposition. • Dynamo have disputed six games against Swiss sides, with the outcome reading W2 D2 L2 (W1 D2 L0 in Kyiv – W1 D0 L2 in Switzerland). • Dynamo took just a point from their two opening Group G matches and have won only one of their last five home fixtures in European competition. • This is Dynamo's third UEFA Europa League group stage campaign; they made it all the way to the quarter-finals in 2010/11 but failed to reach the last 32 the following season. • Thun are competing in the UEFA Europa League group stage for the first time, having lost to Stoke City FC in the play-offs two years ago. They memorably made it to the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League group stage, finishing third in their section to earn a transfer to the UEFA Cup round of 32, where they lost to Hamburger SV. • Following their 2-1 defeat at KRC Genk on matchday two, Thun have yet to win in four away games in UEFA club competition group stages. Team facts • Dynamo forward Andriy Yarmolenko will take on Thun the day after celebrating his 24th birthday. • Dynamo defender Aleksandar Dragovic knows Swiss football well, having spent two and a half years at FC Basel 1893 prior to joining his current side this summer. • Thun goalkeeper Guillaume Faivre played alongside Dynamo's Ideye Brown during the latter's time in Switzerland as a Neuchâtel Xamax FC player. Coach information • Oleh Blokhin has been coaching the club he graced as a player, Dynamo, since September 2012, stepping down as Ukraine coach for a second time after leading them out as co-hosts at UEFA EURO 2012. The European Footballer of the Year in 1975, Blokhin won eight Soviet titles and two European Cup Winners' Cups in a glorious spell at Dynamo from 1969 to 1988. He started coaching in Greece but returned home to help Ukraine reach the 2006 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals. • Urs Fischer took charge of Thun in November 2012 following a long spell working with FC Zürich, where he was in charge of various youth teams before becoming assistant and then senior coach. The centre-back made a record 545 Swiss league appearances – over 300 of them for Zürich, where he played his first and last games. In between, he captained FC St Gallen and was capped four times by Switzerland. 3 FC Dynamo Kyiv - FC Thun Thursday 24 October 2013 - 19.00CET, (20.00 local time) Match press kit NSK Olimpiyskyi, Kyiv Team facts FC Dynamo Kyiv Formed: 1927 Nickname: Bilo-Syni (White-Blues) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (2): 1975, 1986 • UEFA Super Cup (1): 1975, (1986) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) National title: 26 (2009) National cup: 18 (2007) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2012/13: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2011/12: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2010/11: quarter-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2009/10: UEFA Champions League group stage 2008/09: semi-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2007/08: UEFA Champions League group stage 2006/07: UEFA Champions League group stage 2005/06: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 2004/05: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2003/04: UEFA Champions League group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 8-0: Dynamo v Barry Town AFC 22/07/98, UEFA Champions League first qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 0-5: Beşiktaş JK v Dynamo 14/03/87, European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-final first leg 1-6: Coleraine FC v Dynamo 02/09/65, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup preliminary round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Four times, most recently v AS Roma 27/11/07, UEFA Champions League group stage 0-3 on three occasions, most recently v Olympique Lyonnais 17/10/2006, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: Juventus v Dynamo 24/09/02, UEFA Champions League group stage 5-0: SL Benfica v Dynamo 01/04/92, European Champion Clubs' Cup final round group stage UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 5-1: Dynamo v FC Aktobe 29/08/13, play-off second leg 4-0: Dynamo v MTK Budapest 13/09/89, first round first leg 4-0: Dynamo v Fredrikstad FK 03/10/73, first round second leg • Biggest away win 1-4: Beşiktaş JK v Dynamo 17/02/11, round of 32 first leg 1-4: FC BATE Borisov v Dynamo 02/12/10, group stage 4 FC Dynamo Kyiv - FC Thun Thursday 24 October 2013 - 19.00CET, (20.00 local time) Match press kit NSK Olimpiyskyi, Kyiv • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Dynamo v RSC Anderlecht 04/11/92, second round second leg • Heaviest away defeat 3-0: VfB Stuttgart v Dynamo 12/12/73, third round second leg FC Thun Formed: 1898 Nickname: Oberländer (Oberlanders) UEFA club competition honours • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) None Ten-year record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: play-offs 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA competition 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA competition 2005/06: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2004/05: UEFA Intertoto Cup third round 2003/04: UEFA Intertoto Cup second round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-1: Thun v VfL Wolfsburg 11/07/04, UEFA Intertoto Cup second round second leg 3-0 twice, most recently v FK Partizan 29/08/13, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg • Biggest away win 1-3: FC Chikhura Sachkhere v Thun 25/07/13, UEFA Europa League second qualifying round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 2-4: Thun v AFC Ajax 02/11/05, UEFA Cup group stage • Heaviest away defeat 4-1: Stoke City FC v Thun 25/08/11, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 3-0 twice, most recently v FK Partizan (see above) • Biggest away win 1-3: FC Chikhura Sachkere v Thun (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 2-4: Thun v AFC Ajax (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-1: Stoke City FC v Thun (see above) 5 FC Dynamo Kyiv - FC Thun Thursday 24 October 2013 - 19.00CET, (20.00 local time) Match press kit NSK Olimpiyskyi, Kyiv Squad list FC Dynamo Kyiv Current season All-time QUAL Tournament League Tournament UEFA No.
